FIRST TIME REACTING TO | ANGELINA JORDAN "SOMEONE LIKE YOU" (COVER) REACTION

[@nestordepoli]

Simply Angelina, the one, the Queen

[@pauliwog12]

Humble, beautiful, classy. Best singer.

[@cesariturrieta9655]

Angelina is an Angel....so talented...!!! Beautiful reaction as usual....!! Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@lutobravodaniel2189]

MAGICAL VOICE!!!! Absolutely fantastic!!! GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@juliochavez7161]

Any song that has been kissed by Angelina's voice seems to leave a soul filled. That is why she is my favorite voice out there. Thumbs up Britt.

[@garysen]

Angelina matches Adele in pitch and power. What a wonderful addition of rich warm timbre, jazzy inflections, and emotive vulnerability. Wonderful ❣️

[@brigittesaunders3943]

Her look is reminiscent of the Gibson Girl of the mid too late 1800's to early1900's. I always enjoy all of Angelina's covers.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

To me, in this song, AJ sounds as if she choking back the tears from a broken heart as only AJ can do. She evokes the pain and desperation of unrequited love as if she’s actually experienced it. At thirteen.

[@paulmason6474]

She is singing in front of her grandmother’s paintings. Her grandmother was a prodigy too. What a talented family❤

[@HS-ol4zl]

No other singer can put emotion to a song like Angelina does...!

[@derekmaddox7236]

Any time Angelina closes her eyes, you know you're in for a treat. She's off to her special place, and she lets us go with her. I find Angelina's covers interesting in how much more emotion she packs into the song than many of the original artists. You've heard the words and the tune dozens of times, but you never really understand the emotional impact of the song until you hear Angelina's version.

[@kerrythomas6220]

You’re so right!

[@kenvo343]

it is a wonderful journey with you exploring Angelina's musical performances.

[@ridgemanron]

When I first heard her say, at 8, while appearing on 'The View ', a U.S. television show, and said she first began singing jazz at 1-1/2, it immediately told me that we were looking at someone who functions on a genius level. Then, when I heard that her doting grandmother had written and recited her own poetry on a program called 'Radio Iran' at the age of 4, and she was the main impetus for Angelina being introduced to jazz songs so very early in life, I thought, who but another genius to know the potential a granddaughter could have with regard to absorbing and performing vocally at an age when even experts would never have thought it possible? When it comes to geniuses , I guess you could say, 'It takes one to know one'.

[@larrypifer1103]

Genius Exceptional intellectual or creative power, the greatest musical genius of our time is Angelina Jordan. Can one be hypnotized by sound? Shamans use rhythmic drumming and chanting to achieve control over a mind. Angelina's is unique in that she has the ability to create audios that trigger your brains "frequency following response". She has the ability to create a euphoric addiction to her total being similar to drugs, but without the side effects, she is in fact, like nothing I have ever experienced in the past.

[@RobertDeMartin]

Britt, I love your comments and you highlight some wonderful choices Angelina makes. In a word, even though I have listened to Angelina everyday for years, I still find her 'astonishing'.

[@mysc0tt1e]

totally totally agree about not needing to hear the original covers because of the respect and homage she does.......with her own brilliant talent!

[@primordialsimilarity6262]

Britt I can't believe you're not a Vocal Coach, your very Astute at Analyzing Angelina's technique's, and stylistic choices she makes, your very good at it and I want to thank you for that, please keep rolling with Angelina, there are so many more treasure's in her Library Thank you Britt

[@larrypifer1103]

Angelina's famous artist grandma painting is behind her. AJ's grandmother, Mery Zamani, is a famous artist and was a child prodigy and has been a major force in AJ's upbringing. There is no way you can experience Angelina Jordan without becoming very emotional. This being moves mountains.

[@edwardsullivan5481]

Well done with your choices. You're running through her best of the best. No other young person I can think of has ever had such a collection of recordings so elevated in skill and pleasure for the listener. It's been fabulous that her family and others around her have it possible for Angelina to deliver so much to us. All of which is amazing and baffling.

[@rickpallas2001]

Loved your reaction. You are right! Angelina can 'channel' Adele, Amy and Billie, among others. She can make her vocal instrument sound like whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She knows how to interpret a song, like no other artist, including the original artists at times.

[@andyschnell58]

I find an extra dose of Angelina magic in this performance. I get lost in her voice.

[@bills5268]

Eclecticism in philosophy is the construction of a system of thought by combining elements of the established systems of a previous age. Angelina Jordan practices eclecticism in her music and her musical choices - any genre, any time period, any artist, Angelina can do it flawlessly.

[@jamesbirchley4732]

[@GrandmaEllen]

Hello, Britt. Looks like a home rehearsal/warm-up, based on the fancy dress and hairdo. Delicious raspiness. "...how bittersweet this would taste...." Another delicious morsel. Britt, I like how you face the camera head on. It gives an intimate sense that you are talking directly to me. Very nice. You truly are one of the best. And you speak intelligently about the music, which gives honor to the singer, and especially in Angelina Jordan's case. where she is approaching the composition and her instrument with such musical intelligence. What a great coffee accompaniment this morning. Grandma Ellen, off to the day I deserve. 💜😇

[@dojoswitzer]

Agreed, and reacting frequently to fill our appetites. ❤❤❤

[@thomshin2460]

I have heard Adele sing this many times and never really listen to the lyrics, till this young women forced me to sit in awe and listen to every word , what's to say the girl is just the best.

[@Hazealot006]

One of the best storytellers I know. I always listen closely when she sings, and I always believe her. Thanks for another lovely reaction Britt! 💖

[@stevecoughlin9284]

AJ is A Genius artist of 1000 instrumental voices

[@pietersbart]

Angelina said Adele is an inspiration for her. Adele creates wonderful personal music and performs it beautifully. When Angelina covers Adele it is extra extra special. If you listen to Angelina and Adele back to back, you will find both similarities and differences. To me Angelina has a warmer and richer voice and her singing touches me more than Adele does. She can channel many artists and the last 1-2 years she seems to be focusing on finding her own style and voice. Thanks and keep enjoying yourself!

[@peterhormell1511]

Bart, that exploring and experimenting by Angelina is so apparent, particular in the last year. It is so much fun to be a fly on the wall and watch her develop her style. What another wonderful and elucidating reaction Britt! You should consider reacting to one of Angelina’s TikTok compilations to see what we mean. I’ll see if I can find a link for you. 😉👍

[@pietersbart]

@@peterhormell1511 I love that about the TikToks and how she shows us her musical journey. Also her opening with Mount Everest during they concerts shows her exploring. She recently weeded out her TikToks and removed a bunch.

[@peterhormell1511]

@@pietersbart Her performances of “Mount Everest” were brilliant. They displayed so much of what we’ve come to love about Angelina. What an explosive start to her two concerts. Boom 💥, she dove in and left the audience shell-shocked. First, hardly anyone knew of the song before she sang it. And second, it was so short, it left everyone wanting more. The song (as she sung it) was totally marinated in the essence of jazz (despite not being a jazz song), and it displayed SO many of her vocal techniques. 🖤👣

[@pietersbart]

@@peterhormell1511 Her songs could last 10 minutes and I’d still think it was over too soon :-) I can’t wait to see her live myself! I also have the impression she has been doing work on her higher register: both in Mount Everest and in Love On The Brain she had some delightful high pitched singing.

[@peterhormell1511]

@@pietersbart This is more fodder for a future discussion but… I’ve noticed that different phases of her journey at improving her abilities can be observed at different times in the past. You can hear it in the songs she selects.

[@johnabasta8714]

Another suggestion, Angelina's cover of, I'd Rather Go Blind, out of this world.

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Wonderful reaction Britt. Impossible not to love this concentrate of humility, simplicity, candor, sympathy and talent. Angelina every time, with her voice, leaves you with a wonderful feeling of contentment and tenderness that accompanies you even after, I love her voice. This girl's passion and talent is just amazing and when she covers Adele's songs she manages, in a totally unique way, to make those songs even more passionate and expressive, yet Adele is a great songwriter.💛🧡❤

[@rogerandrus1806]

In her 2021 online Holiday concert, Angelina was asked who was her favorite artist. After a pause she replied "Adele". Angelina is very respectful in her Adele covers, adding her touches in subtle ways.

[@kenscott8966]

Angelina has the habit of presenting a cover in such a way that if you heard her version first (before the original), you would have no issue believing that it was her song. The emotional intensity is there, as is the sincerity of the message. The verification would be that if you then heard the original (assuming you didn't know or weren't told the artists' names) you would not be able to tell who the original artist actually is.

[@PilloryClinton]

“It sounds like she needs a cough drop.” That one made me laugh! Thank you. Love that special girl. ❤

[@patriciasepulveda1264]

Beautiful reaction. You are passionate and beautifully expressive. I adore her version of this song. (Million Miles Ago .. missed the timing for a reaction to your reaction! ) Every choice she makes is stunning and full of poignancy, passion, memories and love. Sigh.

[@davidwyatt991]

She puts icing on the cake

[@ClandOp]

AJ is dressed circa 1910. All she needs is the hat! BTW I completely agree that her style in this performance is a mashup of Amy, Adele, and Billie. What's insane is that her performance of "I Have Nothing" is so Whitney, with (as always) a bit of Billie.

[@paulwagner9303]

Not sure about the dress, but the hairdo is the same one she wore when she covered a song Frank Sinatra popularized - You Make Me Feel So Young - (just before?), similar to the original artist's Hairdo from the 1940s. Apparently she just changed her dress here - at least the hairdo has nothing to do with the period of Adele's song.

She is the humblest person I have ever met. She is a beautiful person and she shares that beauty with every song. ❤

[@BUDSBEAU]

if you havent seen them yet, you REALLY REALLY need to watch the Norways Got Talent shows. the first audition she sings Gloomy Sunday. the judges couldnt believe what they were hearing. you have to watch the entire video to hear their comments to Angelina and then after she left the stage. the judges cut show she sang acapella "I'm A Fool To Want You". and the other contestants were on stage also. you could see their faces and its kind of funny. her 3rd song was for the semifinals, she sang "Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra/Cher. her final song is Summertime. there is a video of her rehearsing with the trumpet player and music director. the trumpet player wasnt playing the notes she wanted to start the song so she makes the notes/sound of the trumpet with her mouth. then once she starts her final performance, THAT is what you hear from the trumpet player.

[@markkleckner3060]

Awesome reaction and as you say what else do you expect, but Awesomeness, God Bless!

[@mldkenny]

Another lovely reaction touching on all the important aspects .

[@ooshta]

Nice reaction Britt. I agree with your comments about this song and what Angie did here. (The hair style is more from the 40s than the Victorian era. Except Angelina) has so much hair she created a double Pompidou style. Leave it to Angelina. Here's another song she sang but actually from that era called "You make me feel so young" a Frank Sinatra song. Angie sings both male and female in type of duet style. Her hair and clothes reflect the 40s and 50s. She get in her lower registry in this one. God bless 🙏❤

[@davidwoods2546]

I love your informative comments. Many reactors say they are lost for words. You find the words and meaning. Thank you.

[@pontusosterlin1966]

I loved that you picked up on, what is my favourite moment of this incredible interpretation- “how bittersweet this would taste”. Great analysis 🙏💕🤗

[@Gbarriders]

Angelina did remix I guess you could say of this(. I'm holding out for you ) I believe it is one her best songs. Can't wait to see your reaction to her original songs. Great job like the variety of different genres you're reacting to.

[@olofjansson7911]

Love your reaction to this great cover!❤🇸🇪

[@gottabeemee]

Britt!! You were so mellow in this reaction.. and you sounded really good when you sang Angelina's choice to "go up 3 steps then period"!! You can sing Girl! I don't know that she's ever worn this particular look ever again, except for this time.. maybe Grandma Mery wanted her to do something different.. but the voice, THAT voice just takes center stage, combine it with vocal fry, and it becomes a classic, like her looks here . All she needed was gloves and a parasol😉 Bottom line, she's a master of successfully giving props to the original version, yet finds places to weave in her vocal ornaments and colors that turn it into more than a torch song... Keep singing here and there during her reactions, it's cool and on key👍🏻🔥🎼🎤🎹🎶🎸🎧🎵🎙️🎻🎶🎶PEACE!!

[@AbbieCrescendo]

Great reaction Britt.

Angelina has stated if not for Billy Holliday there would not be an Angelina. Geat reaction.

[@howardp.]

Hi Britt, Once again Angela's jazzy voice has made an Adele cover her own. I want to thank you for the information you provided that educated me on the different nuances of her vocal interpretation. Angelina hair and clothing is reminiscent of how women dressed in the late nineteenth and early 20th century. She would have been wearing a long skirt. The blouse is a fancy version of what was called a shirtwaist. Women at that time always worn their hair long so they had to keep it pinned up the way Angelina has it. You should check out the music video of her covering the song "I'm still holding out for you" because they used still photographs of her at age ten dressed in the same time period. She has this timely beauty about her.

[@tgc966]

Britt, If you would like to see and hear Angelina sing as a 1940's band singer even if you don't react to it I'm sure you will enjoy it 'You Make me Feel so Young' at the following .kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5KuoXmieZmHm6c. Once again an excellent reaction.

[@Mister.315]

Great reaction. Love it.

[@dharmabum9119]

Yep, another head shaker. You highlighted one of my 2 favorite parts of this performance (the "...it would taste" line). The other is where she just drags the vocal through the gravel in the line "We were born and raised, in a summer haze, bound by". It is the "bound by" part where she really digs in. She does this in Billie Jean as well (right around the 2:00 mark with the line "so take my strong advice"- here she digs in on the word advice), so this seems to be one of the many vocal textures she has in her pocket that she uses to great effect. It sounds like the era/period you are linking her appearance to here (the updo hairstyle and dress you described) is Victorian period from the late 19th century. I have seen it written somewhere that she has said she likes many of the styles of from the past and wants to bring them back. She certainly carries herself with a poise and elegance that is rare today...

[@edsonluizdeoliveira6430]

Beautiful

[@jefftofte9419]

To me she gives a 1940's vibe with this look/hairstyle. Loving your AJ reaction's Britt!

She adores Adele, and covered more songs from her than from any other artist, a total of 11 including rehearsals, which you find in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLddfS789jBCqSCMmFYfZ_RxtnwtEmN6zr The first two, done around 7 years old, sound a bit rough, though...

I get Gibson Girl vibes with her costume and hair. Gibson girls were a fashion and 'new' attitude for women between 1890 and 1900 in the US, which capped the very end of the Victorian Era, before the Flapper Girls came about in the '20's.

[@DonaldLancon]

Did you notice how she accidentally sang "but invited" at one point, instead of "uninvited" (at around 4:34 here in this reaction)? She actually made that same mistake (and quite a few others) when she sang the same song at roughly half the age (at 6 or 7). kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3TIonR5h8yAiZo _So_ cute…🤗 This video - one of many recorded in a modest recording studio in Oslo - includes footage of her listening to playback of the vocal(s) she just recorded. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like she's dissatisfied with her performance (or I guess she could have just been bored). I can't help but think she must have been a little bummed when she started to hear studio recordings of her voice and realized just how far she needed to go, to be as good as her idols like Adele and Whitney. (Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long for that to happen!) BTW, the lettering on the sweater/jacket/cardigan/whatever that she's wearing, which is hard to see in this particular video, says, "Ruthless & Toothless".😆 And finally… so as not to leave you with the impression that her time in the studio was "all work and no play", here's a much more "animated" Angelina at around the same age, listening to playback of her recording of "What a Wonderful World" and "acting out" the lyrics for the camera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ6amWCBr7xonLM

Angelina singing to a karaoke backing track is a different experience to when she can dictate the arrangement and tempo. She is forced to desert some of her languid phrasing tendencies, which often leaves the impression that she is attempting to impersonate or inadvertently sounds like the singer she is covering. But I firmly believe that had Angelina been the originator of some of her covers, not only would Adele's, Rihanna's, Lana's and others' versions not get much attention, I doubt they would even try.
